Thread Scribbling
My art practice primarily involves making tactile and detailed art quilts using a semi-industrial sewing machine as my main drawing tool. To create varied outcomes, my methods also encompass a broad range of materials and approaches including painting, photography and printmaking. My process is typically improvisational, enabling unexpected outcomes. I find a certain pleasure in allowing the work to evolve unexpectedly as I create.
50 Shades of Lichen
A completed work inspired by the coastal rock lichens found on the east coast of Tasmania. The work was selected for the Spring/March Issue of Art Quilting Studio Artist Portfolio section, and the 2022 Ravenswood Women's Art Prize.
Old Girls, Teas and Gums
A completed work I started at my Henry Jones Artist Residency. As can be seen from the video larger works with non flexible primed canvas can be somewhat difficult to manage.
